- stavros 3y agoAnd that sounds pretty fucked up to me. What's next? Prosecuting AI images of murder as if you actually killed someone?
- jjgreen 3y agoIndeed, but would you like to be the MP who votes against a law which tackles CSAM? Similarly, the age limit is 18, so if you are 17, a sexy photo (or AI generated image) of your girlfriend of 17 is CSAM (though there is a defence provided you are married or in a civil partnership with said girlfriend). That's a 10-stretch.
- stavros 3y agoYeah, unfortunately laws on this completely lack nuance and are fairly outdated, ruining a fair few lives.

- WmWsjA6B29B4nfk 3y agoWhat is possessing? What if you only "possess" a bunch of model weights that can produce such material when prompted to do so, just as it can produce pictures of cute puppies? What if someone did try really hard to prevent it producing it, but it still happens to do so if you ask it to act like your deceased grandmother? Those AI-generated materials will inevitably very easy to obtain, if not tomorrow then in a few years for sure. The laws will change accordingly as there is little point of having a law that prescribes putting too many people behind the bars.
